Wall Street dropped again Friday to close out its first losing week in three after reports showed the pandemic is deepening the hole for the economy, as Washington prepares to throw it another lifeline. Stocks of companies that most need a healthier economy took some of the sharpest losses. Treasury yields also dipped as reports showed shoppers held back on spending during the holidays and are feeling less confident. Stocks have run out of steam since setting a record a week before on optimism that COVID-19 vaccines and more stimulus from Washington will bring an economic recovery.

La technique en Aménagement et urbanisme du Cégep de Jonquière fait peau neuve pour la session d’automne 2021. Maintenant segmentée par année, elle permettra aux étudiants d’avoir plus facilement accès, durant leurs études, au marché du travail avec l’obtention de certificats de connaissances à la fin de chaque année scolaire. Pour actualiser ce programme, le Cégep de Jonquière a travaillé avec la Fédération des cégeps pour transformer la technique en formation segmentée, un projet pilote unique au Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. Son contenu a aussi été établi en collaboration avec les entreprises du marché pour comprendre réellement leurs besoins en termes de main-d’oeuvre et de compétences. Le cégep a rapidement remarqué que les employeurs étaient prêts à engager les étudiants l’été, dès leur première année, pour faire quelques tâches. C’est le moment où elles ont le plus besoin de main-d’oeuvre. La formation a donc pour but de préparer les étudiants plus rapidement au marché du travail. La grille de cours a été modifiée, et à chaque fin d’année scolaire, l’étudiant sort avec un certificat qui atteste des connaissances qu’il a acquises au cours de l’année. Il pourra donc montrer cette preuve, l’été, aux employeurs et travailler rapidement dans son domaine. « De cette façon, l’étudiant pourra revenir de son été plus motivé, avec un bagage et une expérience réelle du marché du travail. Il aura mis en pratique ses acquis. Il pourra travailler concrètement dès sa première année de formation », explique Marie-Élaine Mercier, enseignante et responsable de la coordination départementale en Aménagement et urbanisme. Cette formation multidisciplinaire a un taux de placement de 100 %. Environ 90 % des étudiants sont embauchés à la fin de leurs études par des municipalités, des villes ou des MRC, pour devenir inspecteurs en bâtiment et en environnement. D’autres poursuivent leurs études dans l’un des domaines touchés par le programme ou encore sont embauchés dans des firmes d’urbanisme ou d’environnement, des organismes de bassins versants, et plus. Le Cégep de Jonquière espère que cette nouvelle formule motivera plus d’élèves à s’y inscrire. Une quinzaine d’étudiants s’y inscrivent chaque année, mais le marché du travail est constamment en recherche de main-d’oeuvre. Le Cégep de Jonquière pourrait former encore plus d’étudiants pour répondre à ce besoin. Nouveaux équipements Des équipements modernes ont aussi été acquis par l’établissement scolaire afin de moderniser le programme et suivre les technologies utilisées par les entreprises du domaine. Les élèves pourront avoir accès à de nouveaux logiciels, un drone, des lunettes interactives et plus. Le cégep a aussi fait l’acquisition d’une maquette modulable interactive qui servira aux étudiants à mieux comprendre la matière vue en classe. Avec une caméra, les étudiants peuvent créer des reliefs et les voir en temps réel sur une cartographie, sur un ordinateur. « C’est un outil technologique qui est vraiment pédagogique. Ce bac à sable interactif aidera certainement les étudiants à mieux comprendre le territoire qu’ils sont en train d’analyser », continue l’enseignante. Les étudiants intéressés ont jusqu’au 1er mars pour présenter leur demande d’admission à la technique en Aménagement et urbanisme au srasl.qc.ca.Myriam Arsenault, Initiative de journalisme local, Le Quotidien
OLIVIER DOULIERY/GettyThe National Rifle Association filed for bankruptcy on Friday.In a letter to members, Wayne LaPierre, the head of the notorious gun lobby group, wrote, “The plan aims to streamline costs and expenses, proceed with pending litigation in a coordinated and structured manner, and realize many financial and strategic advantages.”The group will apparently relocate from the “toxic political environment of New York” to Texas. For his part, LaPierre referred to the bankruptcy filing and reincorporation in the Lone Star State as a “restructuring plan.” The virulently pro-gun organization has been plagued by infighting among it executive ranks and legal troubles over the past year, and was sued by for fraud by the New York Attorney General in August. LaPierre strenuously attempted to frame the “voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings” as a positive development, despite years of rough financial news.“You know that our opponents will try to seize upon this news and distort the truth,” he wrote. “Don’t believe what you read from our enemies. The NRA is not “‘bankrupt’” or ‘going out of business.’ The NRA is not insolvent. We are as financially strong as we have been in years.”Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

WILMINGTON, Del. — Getting 100 million shots into Americans' arms in his first 100 days is only the beginning of his coronavirus plan, President-elect Joe Biden declared Friday. Lasting impact, he said, will come from uniting the nation in a new effort grounded in science and fueled by billions in federal money for vaccination, testing and outbreak sleuths. “You have my word: We will manage the hell out of this operation,” Biden said. But he also underscored a need for Congress to approve more money and for people to keep following basic precautions, such as wearing masks, avoiding gatherings and frequently washing their hands. “This is not a political issue," Biden said. “This is about saving lives. I know it’s become a partisan issue, but what a stupid, stupid thing to happen.” Biden spoke a day after unveiling a $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan” to confront the virus and provide temporary support for a shaky economy. About $400 billion of the plan is focused on measures aimed at controlling the virus. Those range from mass vaccination centres to more sophisticated scientific analysis of new strains and squads of local health workers to trace the contacts of infected people. On Friday, Biden pledged to maximize the available supply of vaccines and materials needed to administer them, using a Cold War-era law called the Defence Production Act to direct private manufacturing. He also seconded the Trump's administration's call earlier this week for states to start vaccinating more seniors, reaching those 65 and older as well as younger people with certain health problems. Until now states have been focused on inoculating health care workers, and some are starting to vaccinate people 75 and older. Relatively few are providing shots to people between 65 and 75. Another carryover from the Trump administration plan: Biden said he intends to mobilize local pharmacies to administer vaccines. Dr. Leana Wen, a public health expert and emergency physician, said Biden should aim higher. “At this point, mass vaccination is our last and best chance to restoring normalcy,” she said. “There should be no expenses spared in the vaccine rollout. A hundred million in 100 days needs to be seen as only a start." As Biden spoke, some governors blasted the Trump administration for what at least one said was “deception” in suggesting earlier this week a reserve of vaccine doses was ready to ship, augmenting supplies. An administration official said states have still not ordered all of the doses allocated to them, and called it a problem with states' expectations. Biden committed to better communication with the states, to avoid surprises about how much vaccine they can expect. His plan calls for the federal government to fully reimburse states that mobilize their National Guard to help distribute vaccines. The plan comes as a divided nation is in the grip of the pandemic’s most dangerous wave yet. So far, more than 389,000 people have died of COVID-19 in the U.S. The political outlook for Biden's rescue plan remains unclear, although a powerful business lobbying group welcomed its focus on controlling the pandemic. Biden has long held that economic recovery is inextricably linked with controlling the coronavirus. That squares with the judgment of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the most powerful business lobbying group and traditionally an adversary of Democrats. “We must defeat COVID before we can restore our economy and that requires turbocharging our vaccination efforts,” the Chamber said in a statement Thursday night that welcomed Biden's plan but stopped short of endorsing it. Under Biden's multipronged virus strategy, about $20 billion would be allocated for a more disciplined focus on vaccination, on top of some $8 billion already approved by Congress. Biden has called for setting up mass vaccination centres and sending mobile units to hard-to-reach areas. On Friday, he announced former FDA chief David Kessler as his chief science officer for the vaccine drive. Kessler has been advising Biden as a co-chair of his advisory board on the coronavirus pandemic. A pediatrician and attorney, he has emphasized the need to ease public concerns about the safety of the coronavirus vaccines. Confidence in the FDA’s review process is critical to ramping up the effort to vaccinate millions of Americans. With the backing of Congress and the expertise of private and government scientists, the Trump administration delivered two highly effective vaccines and more are on the way. Yet a month after the first shots were given, the nation’s vaccination campaign is off to a slow start with about 12.3 million doses administered out more than 31 million delivered, or 39%. About 10.6 million individuals have received first or second doses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the American Hospital Association estimates that close to 246 million must be vaccinated to reach widespread or “herd” immunity by the summer. Vaccines currently available require to shots to be fully effective. Biden has called the vaccine rollout “a dismal failure so far." “We need to be getting to more than 3 million vaccinations a day, rapidly,” said Wen. The plan also provides $50 billion to expand testing, which is seen as key to reopening most schools by the end of the new administration's first 100 days. About $130 billion would be allocated to help schools reopen without risking further contagion. The plan would fund the hiring of 100,000 public health workers, to focus on encouraging people to get vaccinated and on tracing the contacts of those infected with the coronavirus. There's also a proposal to boost investment in genetic sequencing, to help track new virus strains including the more contagious variants identified in the United Kingdom and South Africa. Throughout the plan, there's a focus on ensuring that minority communities that have borne the brunt of the pandemic are not shortchanged on vaccines and treatments, aides said. With the new proposals comes a call to redouble efforts on the basics. Biden is asking Americans to override their sense of pandemic fatigue and recommit to wearing masks, practicing social distancing and avoiding indoor gatherings, particularly larger ones. It's still the surest way to slow the COVID-19 wave, with more than 4,400 deaths reported just on Tuesday. Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar And Bill Barrow, The Associated Press
On 20 January, Joe Biden will officially become president, and Kamala Harris will become vice-president. Here's what you need to know.
Joe Biden has pledged to deploy the US National Guard and FEMA resources to distribute Covid-19 vaccines across the US as part of a vaccine plan aimed at rapidly speeding up inoculations after a stalled rollout under Donald Trump’s administration that fell significantly short of its goals. The president-elect, days before his inauguration on 20 January, will propose “new, federally supported community vaccination centres” and mobilise “thousands” of staff and contractors. More than 31 million doses have been distributed as of 15 January, though only 12.2 million have received a shot, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
